Can you imagine me jumping up an down with cookie crumbs flying everywhere AND kids screaming ????
Christy my caseworker called today and said "Congratulations on your new baby girl"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my word. the world stopped spinning for a second ;) my prayers (and all of yours) were answered.
I quickly texted a picture of baby girl to everyone in my address book with her new official (ethiopian) name !!! Super quick I threw Boo in the bath since she was dirty from playing outside...and got the kids ready and off we went to surprise my hubby at work. This is a tradition for us. When Boo finally got released from PGN hell, we drove over and surprised him at the front of his store with a big sign that read "WE ARE OUT!!!" It was really cool. When he came out of his office today he was thrilled!!!!! This waiting has been hard on us.
It was so fun explaining to the folks at work that we are outta here in .....2 weeks :) :) oh my gosh will I have lists!!!
OK. NOW FOR WHAT YOU ARE WAITING FOR...
